Image of Martial Law In Boston
Intel By
A lot of people are calling what is happening
right now in the areas surrounding the Washington Navy Yard a
“lockdown.” Others say that a martial law declaration is right around
the corner as police conduct a massive manhunt for two remaining
shooters at large. This is quite common speculation, and it certainly
happened in the aftermath of the manhunt for the Boston bomber.
What has really happened thus far is that authorities have requested
that people stay in their homes. Now, it is a request. It is
voluntary. People can leave their homes, but it is being recommended
that they not do so unless absolutely necessary. In order to really
call this a lockdown, we believe a little higher level of severity is
required. As the manhunt progresses, if police start going door to door
or there is any declaration that action will be taken if civilians
leave their homes, then we will have a true martial law situation. For
now, it seems fairly reasonable that having people stay where they are
is a good course of action. Supposedly, there are two
military-affiliated shooters on the loose, and very little information
as to their whereabouts is available to the public.
If this escalates, it may be that we have a true conspiracy here, but
for now, a voluntary request hardly constitutes martial law.
